Leading By Example: Choosing Priorities Over Politics
04/03/2007
I avoided the politics of podiatry for most of the first 20 years of practice. I considered all the American Podiatric Medical Association (APMA) stuff that went on in Washington, D.C. a waste of time and money although I have been a...

Why It Pays To Do Good Deeds
02/03/2002
I stepped out the back door of my home on a cold December morning and noticed a new pile of firewood sitting at the edge of my driveway. I knew it must have been delivered by a guy named Eddy. Eddy is an unemployed carpenter who visited my...

Taking The Right Approach To Medical Curveballs
05/03/2005
   I tried to apply a soft fiberglass cast to the leg of a screaming 4-month-old baby boy last week. It was toward the end of a very busy day and, in most cases, a screaming baby would not be an opportunity I would seek. In this case, the...

Why I Chose The Road Less Traveled
03/03/2003
My patient was a 40-something, peroxide blonde, personal fitness trainer. It was her first visit and she complained, “You have to do something about my nails. I can’t have this flaw with my job.” Her nails looked nearly normal with only...

Confessions Of A Not So Avid Football Fan
04/03/2006
I have never been much of a fan of American football. This is partly due to a trauma related to the game early in my life. My father took me to a University of Montana Grizzly game when I was 5 years old. Naturally, we sat in the cheap seats,...

Why Orthopedic Denigrators Of DPMs Just Make Themselves Look Bad
04/25/2011
A couple of months ago, I learned about that orthopod from South Carolina and his video blog that slammed our profession. I watched the thing and it reminded me of the horse poop we had to put up with 30 years ago. My wife leaned into my den...

Learning From Heroes Within And Outside Podiatry
06/03/2007
Some of the real heroes in podiatry are not DPMs. I learned to think of podiatry as an isolated body during my Ohio College of Podiatric Medicine days. We learned the only thing we had to fear was fear itself and orthopods.
